So I have added and removed a Bootcamp partition many times with no problems. But this time when I went to Remove Windows 7 through Bootcamp, when it tried to reclaim the hard disk space there was an error. I have read there are problems with the new Disk Utility program in El Capitan at times.

I found a video to reclaim it from Terminal which I have never ever used.

This video? Is it correct?

And I was removing the Windows partition to do a clean install from a Mac USB Thumb Drive. If I boot up from that disk will it correct the problem? I mean can I reclaim the space then or do I have to do the terminal thing first?

Any simple suggestions appreciated reclaiming my HD space!
